AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'

Builder

OS (Linux Mint 19.1):
PsychoPy version (3.0.6):
Standard Standalone? (y) I

I’ve managed to get PsychoPy to launch but it produces this error no matter the experiment. I’ve been using the builder this whole time.

I took these steps to get it running PsychoPy3 on Linux installation issues (solved)

The error is happening here:

File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/psychopy/visual/backends/gamma.py”, line 152, in getGammaRamp
raise AssertionError(‘XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp failed’)
AssertionError: XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp failed

Could you post your video card information?

You might find some potential solutions in this thread or this github issue.

I re-installed Linux and PsychoPy and now I get this: ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name
